NaNoWriMo
I mentioned in a previous post that I'd been thinking lately about one of my favorite books, Frankenstein, and how that got me thinking about the monster. He's always been one of my favorite characters in literature, and although I've enjoyed Karloff's interpretation as slow and monosyllabic at best, I prefer…

Halloween is coming around, and as is usually the case, that means I'm watching far more horror movies than I would under normal circumstances. Among those I've watched lately are two recent adaptations of one of my favorite books, Frankenstein. Both shared the same title as the novel and both were…

Casting Call #3: Christian Pierce
It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but Alias has now been added to Netflix and I've started to watch it. I saw about half of the first season, but then ended up missing the rest. Anyway, I've started watching it again and I started paying more…
ComiXology and the future of digital
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a fan of digital. There are a few reasons for this. One is convenience -- having everything at your fingertips as opposed to digging through boxes or shelves makes it a lot easier to find what you're looking for or just to browse.…
